View Poll Results: Is the character of Jesus and God the Father the identical?

Re: Is the character of Jesus and the character of God the same?

I had to look up the definition of character, as the word character is highly equivocal....man i bore myself sometimes.

I think they share the same character in terms of moral and ethical qualities, the Son always does the Fathers will and the Father is well pleased by His Son. So i would say yes if character is defined in terms of moral and ethical values.

Re: Is the character of Jesus and the character of God the same?

Mark, as you probably would agree, I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack, but what do you mean by Character?

Something along these lines as taken from dictionary.com

1.the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing.
2.one such feature or trait; characteristic.
3.moral or ethical quality: a man of fine, honorable character.
4.qualities of honesty, courage, or the like; integrity: It takes character to face up to a bully

I always enjoy it when this comment rises up! My righteousness is based completely upon Him and not of myself. So I have His righteousness and none of my own. Therefore, I am as righteous as He is only because any righteousness I have is of and from Him!

2 Cor 5:21
21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
NASU

All of God's children have the "righteousness of God in Him".

Your heading does not say "righteousness of God in Him" it says As righteous as Christ. I was right and am still right to stand against that. Did you put it down that way just to extract a reply like mine so you can have a cheap feeling of superiority by then posting as you have done above.

Correct it. Change it to "righteousness of God in Him" and stop setting traps for people.
